      It would be helpful if there was a way to disable an index before dropping. Been clearing out some unused production indexes lately, but there's always a tense moment after issuing the dropIndex command where I wait to see if it was less "unused" than expected.

      If there was a way to just disable the index (semantics would be that it keeps getting updated, just can't be used by queries), then a revert would be much faster if something goes wrong and the drop could be done with more confidence.
